“Lifestyle change and changes in diet work faster, better and more cheaply than any medication and are as effective or more effective than gastric bypass without any side effects or long-term complications.” ~ Dr. Mark Hyman, Head of Strategy and Innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine
The liver is an important organ in the body that plays a vital role in detoxifying harmful substances and filtering out toxins.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help support liver function and detoxification. Here are some foods that are particularly beneficial for liver health:
Vegetables like spinach, kale, and arugula are rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals that can help protect the liver from damage.
Garlic contains compounds that help activate liver enzymes that aid in the elimination of toxins
Citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruits contain high levels of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the liver.
Beets contain betaine, which is a compound that helps support liver function and may help protect against liver disease.
Nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds are good sources of healthy fats and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and support liver health.
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help protect the liver.
Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts contain compounds that can help increase the production of enzymes in the liver that aid in detoxification.
It’s also important to limit or avoid processed foods, alcohol, and foods high in saturated and trans fats, as they can be harmful to the liver. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can also help support liver function and detoxification.
When it comes to detox, we want to keep in mind that the liver is not the only organ of elimination. We also detox through our kidneys, our gut, and our skin.
Other than nutrition, we want to support our physiology with clean air, adequate hydration, and ensuring optimal gut and digestive health.
You have what it takes inside you to make a definite choice that will change the future trajectory of your health.
Our team at Tiger Medical has the experience, clinical skills, and coaching acumen to help you with detoxification and overall health optimization.

A Word From Our Founder, Steve Adams
Hey there! I'm Steve
I spent 20 years in high-pressure corporate banking, constantly traveling and neglecting my health. By 50, I was sleep-deprived, getting only 2-3 hours of sleep despite lying in bed for six hours. I suffered from acid reflux, IBS, cramping, constipation, anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog, affecting my performance and relationships.
Then I found a Functional Medicine Doctor
He conducted extensive testing on genetics, gut biome health, and hormones. He discovered several issues and created a personalized medical plan and coached me for a year on lifestyle changes. The results were transformative!
Today, I feel like a new person. I can engage in high-intensity interval training, weight lifting, and running without any symptoms. Inspired by this journey, I founded Tiger Medical Institute to help others achieve similar health transformations - to help you live healthier, better life!
